moving

OK so I live at home with parents, husband and kids (we had unsuspected financial problems and had to move in). We found a absolutly beautiful apartment and we are moving next week. My sons are 23 months and 5 months. I am not to worried about the 5 month old but the 23 month old i am afraid we are gonna have a hard time with him. Does anyone have any advice on how to make the move any easier. my biggest fear is bed time. Any advice would be great

We went TDY for four months while my son was b/w 18-23 months. I tried to make the only change in his life the move. Since it was only temporary I made sure we had his favorite toys, decided it was not the time to take his pacifier, and kept his nap/bedtime routine the same. He adjusted well. The biggest thing is to keep things the same as much as you can, expect that he may act out in some way, and know that eventually things will get back to normal. Hope this helps...

Talk to him about it and make him excited about the move =). Moving is something that has to go on in our family (my husband is in the Navy) so I try to make it fun for my boys. (My oldest is turning 6 in April and he has lived in 6 different homes already... my son who will be 3 soon has only lived in 2). If you can paint, have him pick out what color he wants him room to be (within reason lol). Picking out bed sheets, etc. Small things that let him think he's involved in the process.
